JC WHitney has a flasher that plays 'Love Me Tender'. I just don't
think most people could bring themselves to do it.

I am considering doing Ford's TSB # 93-22-14 that supposedly fixes a
stalling problem after initial startup. It applies to 90 - 93 4.9L
six's. After the first start of the morning, as the engine comes off
fast idle it usually stalls. Sometimes it stalls the first time it's
put into drive or reverse. Anyway the TSB involves adding an 85 degree
ported vacuum switch into the input heater hose and using this
temperature dependent vacuum source to control the fuel pressure
regulator. What this is supposed to do is cut off the vacuum to the FPR
when the engine is cold thereby raising the fuel pressure about 10 psi
causing a slightly richer mixture. Has anyone tried this or have a
better solution?

My 1995 F-350/460 has an aftermarket Borla exhaust system w/headers.
Because of where the pipes run, the nice folks down at the Express Lube
are unable to get to all the bolts to remove the tranny pan. In other
words, they can't properly service the transmission. Has anyone else run
into this problem? Or are they just under-tooled?

Contact Crutchfield at http://www.ford-trucks.com//lc/lc.php?action=do&link=http://www.crutchfield.com and they can tell you
speaker size, speaker location, and radio chassis size options for your
truck. I am not affiliated with them but I have purchased car and home
audio from them for 18 years and have always been amazed at their
service. I think they can tell you not only the factory original size
speakers, but if you can go larger. I think most Ford trucks allow a 6.5
inch speaker with 3.875 inch depth clearance.

I've seen trucks like these, and and Explorer badging on the sides...guessing
just an option package on older trucks

In a month, I'm gonna buy a stock '88 F150. I'm already looking at tires
and so far I've come up with the B.F.G. Mud-terrain mounted on a
modular-style wheel by Superior.
The wheels I'm looking at are 15x10 and the Mud-terrains are 32/11.50R15.
I want to buy big enough tires and wheels now so that when I get a 4"
lift in about 8 months, the wheel and tires won't look puny. How do these
specs on the tire/wheel combo sound? Will the wheel be too big for the
tire?

Thanks for any help.

They are 6 1/2" speakers. Installation book said to use a thin speaker, but
I put some Infinitys in mine with huge magnets, and they fit fine. I just
had to drill a couple of holes.

The Ranger has been around since the 60s as a **full** size truck. The
F series had 3 trim levels:
standard (bare bones)
Custom Cab
Ranger (highest trim level)

Not until the early 80s did the Ranger become a small truck. So,
no, it wasn't BS. You'll find a few full size Rangers on the
web site.

I am looking for a few answers to a few questions,
first, I have a 1983 F-250 fwd, 351 motor, what kind of eec does it
have?
there is no provision to set the timing (distributor is bolted to
block)
, I have been told that this is an
EEC-III system and I have also been told that it is a California
Version of the
EEC-IV , can anyone help?
second, Is it possible to do away with the controls and sensors for
this ignition
system and install a Distributor with points or a Duraspark Ignition?
I am looking for any input at all on these issues,
thanks,
Jon
